SIP/SAVOR: Fig & Olive

ANOTHER NY namesake restaurant headed WEST last week in all of its 8,000 square foot glory!  Fig & Olive has landed in its new home on the corner of La Cienega and quaint little Melrose Place where Riviera and Coastal cuisine inspired by Italy, Spain and the South of France is the major message, not to mention OLIVE OIL infused in just about everything! CROSTINIS are the specialty ITEM (there are at least nine different ones, but the shrimp/avocado and manchego/fig were our personal favorites).  Main courses like Mediterranean Branzino and Rosemary Lamb Chops are the perfect choice for dinner while Saturday lunches or Sunday brunches on the inside/outside patio couldn’t be more intoxicating.  For more sexy pleasures, head up to the champagne bar where a dj spins the latest and greatest mood music!
